Abstract

The article explores the historical foundations and social context that framed the anti-politics of the 2017 general election in Great Britain. Topics discussed include the post-Brexit collapse of the UK Independent Party (UKIP), the repositioning of the Labour Party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, and the long-terms risk of adopting a populist strategy.
